Manchester United have received a huge offer for a “sensational” player, who have now agreed to personal terms over a deal, according to a report.
Amorim seeks to reshape its team
Ruben Amorim is looking to put his own stamp on the Man United squad, meaning there could be a number of departures in the January transfer window, with three strikers potentially set for the exit.
Marcus Rashford has made it clear he wants to leave his boyhood club, with Barcelona among the clubs interested in the Englishman, who has struggled to find playing time since Amorim’s arrival.
The Red Devils are also willing to let Antony leave this month if they receive a suitable offer, with the Brazilian winger flattering to deceive since his arrival from Ajax.

Man Utd interested in ‘pure difference maker’ as dream replacement for Rashford
Man United are looking for a new striker to replace Marcus Rashford.
Alejandro Garnacho has featured regularly in the Premier League this season, but there is now major doubt over the winger’s future at Old Trafford, with Chelsea becoming the latest club to discuss a deal.
There is also interest from Italy, with reports earlier this week stating that Napoli are ready to increase their offer for the 20-year-old, who is valued at £59 million by United.
According to a new report from Tuttosport (via Sport Witness), the deal is now moving forward, with Napoli submit €55m (£46m) bid for Garnachoafter generating the funds needed for a deal by selling Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to Paris Saint-Germain.
The Argentina international has reportedly agreed to contract terms with the Serie A side, indicating he is keen on the move, but an improved offer may need to be submitted to complete a deal.
Man United are maintaining an asking price of €70m (£59m) for the youngster, so the two clubs are still far apart.
Man Utd should sell Garnacho
It’s always a shame to see a player who has progressed through the youth ranks move on to pastures new, but if Garnacho wants to leave, Amorim shouldn’t stand in his way.
The Argentine has shown promising signs in a United shirt, receiving praise from journalist Michael Plant for his “sensational” performance against Aston Villa just over a year ago.
The left winger has scored three Premier League goals this season but has failed to cement his place in the starting XI, often being used as a substitute, having failed to really get going since last season.
As such, Man United are expected to look to cash in on Garnacho this month, and raising £59m from his sale would potentially allow them to sign a top-quality replacement who better fits Amorim’s plans.
